Politics

“I have not had time to analyze the situation; I do not even have enough information, since I am deprived of the opportunity to communicate with my friends. I feel that this is Robert Kocharyan’s and Serge Sargsyan’s end. I feel they will not endure the situation more than 10 days”, declared the RA First President Levon Ter-Petrosyan during the press conference at his place today.

Ter-Petrosyan noted that they would take all legal measures within the frames of the Constitution, they would appeal to the Municipality to organize rally, gatherings and assemblies, but if they deny they would have to conduct spontaneous events.

Levon Ter-Petrosyan did not exclude that the CEC would have to revise its final decision on the results of the election. Levon Ter-Petrosyan hopes that the Constitutional Court may meet the requirements their appeal and recognize the elections invalid.

Answering to the question of “A1+” who was responsible for 1 March incidents, Ter-Petrosyan stated that both functioning and the “elected” presidents were responsible for them. “If I were the elected president I would not have any lever, but Serge Sargsyan is the Prime Minister and all powers obey him”. According to him, Serge Sargsyan cannot be admitted by the world as a president, but if he stays in his post by chance, he will never be considered a legitimate president.

“I do not imagine, that after this disgraceful election Serge Sargsyan will be considered a legitimate president and will be able to head the nation, which does not tolerate him”, declared The RA First President. He would be astonished if the outer world admitted the RA authorities for committing 1 March violence against the peaceful protestants after international community’s urges and appeals forwarded to the authorities by a number of international structures.

“I will not understand if the international community tolerates the occurrences at night”, said Levon Ter-Petrosyan. He considers that the behavior of the authorities is a challenge not only to our people, but also to the international community

Levon Ter-Petrosyan also considers that the authorities stand benefit from the fact that the European officials are not in Armenia, since the majority of the observers and the international journalists are focused on the presidential election in Russia and Armenia is out of everybody’s attention. The First President also mentioned that the diplomatic corpus is aware of the recent incidents, violations in Armenia. Levon Ter-Petrosyan also stated that during the meeting with the international observers Robert Kocharyan ensured them that Levon Ter-Petrosyan also participated in the negotiations, which was not true. “Two days ago Putin and Kocharyan talked on the phone and Kocharyan ensured Putin that no force would be used against the protestants. Putin stated that the use of force was forbidden. Besides, Kocharyan has ensured Putin allegedly I am involved in the negotiations”, told Ter-Petrosyan. He informed the journalists that no one had negotiated with him, but even if they made an attempt to negotiate he would not respond.

Today Ter-Petrosyan expressed wish that the functioning authorities were clean to be able to leave their posts. According to him “they have such a criminal base, including 27 October incident that they are unable to leave quietly”.
